Experience the world of the Cu Chi freedom fighters with a visit to their famous tunnel system.

Mia was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide who was able to explain the history of the tunnels and Vietnam’s history. The tour was very relaxed and we had the time to look at what we wanted and Mia was able to explain in detail the uses and consequences of the traps and weapons they created. This was an enjoyable day with the family and finished with delicious lunch. Thank you Mia ????????
